automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire, if for any reason , the flame goes out)

Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall

coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected by

heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating

appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE

How to light your fire.

! The controls are shown in figure 2.

! Check that the main isolating switch is

on.

! Remove the fire front cover / fire

front. The controls are behind this cover.

! Press the "ON" switch. Within a few

seconds, the fan motor should start and a

small light will appear on the control box

next to the switches. After a few seconds

the light will go out.

! Depress the control knob and turn

partially to the "PILOT/IGN" position until

you feel some resistance.

Keep the knob depressed at this position for a few seconds to allow gas to flow to

the pilot.

! While keeping the knob depressed, turn to the "PILOT/IGN" position. While

turning, a spark should light the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen through the ceramic

fuel effect at the front left side.

! Keep the knob depressed at the "PILOT/IGN" position for a further ten seconds

then release it. The pilot flame should stay alight.

! Slightly depress the knob and turn it to "LOW". Release the knob. Within a few

seconds the main burner should light at its low setting.

Slightly depress the knob and gradually turn it towards "HIGH" until the burner is

at your desired setting. The burner flames will gradually increase until the knob is at the

"HIGH" position.

Lighting with a taper.

! If the spark ignition fails, the fire can be lit manually by inserting a lighted taper

through the ceramic fuel effect at the front left side (as shown in figure 3) and

depressing the control knob at the "PILOT/IGN" position. Ensure that the fan is on.

Note: If the fire goes out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure. If

OWNER GUIDE

PLEASE NOTE

When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may

cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate

vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless

and will disappear after a few hours use.

Figure 2.

the fire repeatedly goes out, have the fire

serviced.

How to turn your fire off.

! To turn off the main burner but leave the

pilot alight slightly depress the control knob and

turn to "PILOT/IGN". Leave the fan switched

on.

! To turn the fire fully off slightly depress the

control knob and turn to "OFF". Press the "OFF"

switch to turn the fan off. If the fire is not likely

to be used again for a long time we suggest that

the mains isolating switch for the fire is

switched off.

! Wait at least three minutes after turning the fire off before relighting.

While cooling, the ceramic fuel effect pieces may make some crackling noises. This

is quite normal.

The flame sensing and flue blockage safety system.

! For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which

will shut down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions.

This device will also shut down the appliance if the pilot flame goes out due to lack

of oxygen or for any other reason.

The system includes a probe that senses the heat from the pilot flame. If this probe

is cool, the system will prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is kept depressed

at the "PILOT/IGN" position.

! The system also includes an atmospheric pressure detector. This will shut off the

gas supply if the fan is not working.

If there is a blockage preventing the flow of exhaust fumes out of the flue, the fan

will switch to a high boost speed to attempt to clear the blockage. If the boost speed

does not clear the flue, the pressure detector will shut off the gas supply. The small light

on the control box will light each time the ‘boost’ speed is used.

! If the flames go out, or if for any reason the fire is turned off,

always wait at least 3

minutes before attempting to relight.

! If this device starts to shut off the gas frequently please get expert advice

! This device is NOT a substitute for an independently mounted Carbon

Monoxide detector.

CLEANING YOUR FIRE

To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your fire, please follow these

guidelines:

Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the gas at the fire and

the electricity at the isolating switch.

Wait for the appliance to cool. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning

can begin.

Metal parts.

! Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry.

! Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the fire surface.

! Camden and Chic fascia - Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and

then dry. If this does not work apply a very small amount of ‘baby oil’ to a lint free non-

abrasive cloth and wipe over the surface. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the oil.

Ceramic fuel effect and burner compartment rear wall.

This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall

containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous

silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause irritation to eyes, skin

and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling

these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.

Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the

fire. Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and

walls should be removed from the fire for cleaning. Cleaning should be carried out

in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently brushing with the pieces held

away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust. We do not recommend the

use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner which may blow dust back into the air.

We suggest that you remove the ceramic fuel effect in the reverse order to that

shown in the ceramic fuel effect installer and owner guide. This should have been

left inside or attached to this guide by the installer.

Burner.

Remove any soot or other foreign matter from the burner with a dry soft brush.

Be careful not to brush any particles into the open slots.

Remove any particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush

attachment. Do not poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.

Flue terminal.

Keep the slots in the flue terminal on the outside wall clear of any obstructions (leaves,

snow etc.)

Page 9

OWNER GUIDE

Ventilation.

If any purpose made ventilation was provided for this appliance, make sure that it is

always free from any obstruction.

CERAMIC FUEL EFFECT REFITTING

The installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is separate from this guide. The

installer may have attached it to this guide or placed it inside. It is important that the

installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is followed correctly. If replacing

the ceramic fuel effect, where a new guide is supplied, follow the installer and owner

guide supplied with the replacement fuel effect.

Keep the replacement installer and owner guide with this owner guide for future

reference.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance.

In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance

efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept

clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall

and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper

clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.

In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue

and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every

twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K, a CORGI registered installer).

We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked

annually.

Mains cable.

If the mains cable becomes damaged it must be replaced with an authorised Baxi Fires

Division replacement part. It must be replaced either by a Baxi Fires Division

service engineer or a CORGI registered installer.
